Cheers to the last day of 2018! I wanted to round up the top items from my affiliate links that you guys gravitated toward this year. It was so fun to go back into the “archives” and look at past outfits!

Now that I’m well into my eighth month of pregnancy (hello 34 weeks!) I feel pretty confident in the pieces that are the best essentials to buy to prepare for your maternity wardrobe. I spent quite some time trying out different brands and styles, as I wanted quality pieces that will stand the test of time, but that I could also wear pregnancy-to-pregnancy or even after I give birth.

I’ve said it before how I don’t tend to invest heavily in trends, but if there is one I’m willing to try I’ll try to find a inexpensive option instead. Keep reading to find some great under-$100 options!

I have been asked quite a bit about where to buy wedding-guest dresses that also happen to be affordable, and while affordable can mean different things to different people, I wanted to share some great brands that you can easily find a gorgeous dress for your next wedding.

It’s safe to say that Meghan Markle has quickly become a style icon, and rightfully so! Ever since blowing up in the spotlight - moreso than she was before - her style has morphed into one that women of all ages can look to for inspiration. There are a few key elements that she weaves into almost each of her looks that keep her style classic, relatable, and simple.

If you haven’t heard of the brand Mango, I highly recommend you try them out. They’re a European brand that’s a bit of a mix between Zara and H&M. They have trendy pieces, but also great basics and at pretty good quality and cost.

I can’t believe I’m only just posting our gender announcement! We have known for a couple months now what we’re having and I think it makes it feel much more real. We already have a name picked out and have just finished up the registry too, building the anticipation and excitement even more!

I have been really digging Anthropologie’s newest arrivals lately, and am crossing my fingers for a great Black Friday sale this year! (Can you believe that’s almost here??) In anticipation, I’ve been perusing their site every once in a while and putting my favorites in my shopping bag.

While my blog posting has slowed down recently due to various reasons (pregnancy being a main one), I still try to update my Instagram on a regular basis with recent outfits that I’m wearing. It’s a great way for you to get updates on my style and life as well!

A big trend I’ve noticed this fall is lucite and resin earrings, particularly in tortoise shell. I’ve always loved this pattern as it’s flattering on most skin tones and adds a unique touch to an accessory and even a whole outfit. I rounded up some of my favorite styles here, from studs to hoops to unique shapes, and they’re all under $50!

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! I’ve been keeping busy lately with the pregnancy (we’re already over halfway through!) and haven’t felt the desire to do much for the blog. However, I’ve been loving some of the new fall releases and wanted to share!
